Gold isn't very chemically reactive, so I kind of question if any consumer product really replated gold contacts. Be interesting to learn if there is such a product. One friend of mine repairs broadcast radios, and he'd sure have a use for it. -- .. Christopher A. Young learn more about Jesus .. www.lds.org .. .. |

I have a fancy AM-FM radio with preset stations and 2 alarms, but it has push button switches. After 15 years some got dirty, and I cleaned them but they get dirty progressivly more quickly. Now it lasts less than a year and so I haven't used the radio for years. Anything else I can use that might be not as good but similar? |

This looks good. Thanks. My imediate need is for switches with metal to metal contact, and I realize that's what DeOxit is for. I have a can of that, though I didn't the last time the radio needed fixing. |

We used to clean contacts with a burnishing tool, like an extremely fine file. Contact cleaner may work. I had a key switch in an old car where contact cleaner would fix it temporarily. Eventually, I tried WE-40. It has worked ever since. |

I'll try it. I may try De-oxit too. maybe half of the keys with one and half with the other. No promises but I'll get back to you in a year or two. |
